Bangs Laboratories, Inc. Announces New Product For Quantitation of Cellular Antigen Expression:
Quantum™ Simply Cellular® Human Antibody Binding Standards

November 5, 2002 - Bangs Laboratories, Inc. announces the development of a novel product for the quantitative analysis of cellular antigen expression, Quantum™ Simply Cellular® Human Antibody Binding Standards. Quantum Simply Cellular (QSC) kits consist of 5 bead populations; one unlabeled, and four populations conjugated with varying amounts of anti-Human antibody specific for the Fc region of human IgG class I and II antibodies. QSC allows users to establish a standard curve relating fluorescence intensity to antigen expression.

The new QSC anti-Human IgG kit complements Bangs' established line of quantitative flow cytometry products. For information on the anti-Human IgG or anti-Mouse IgG Quantum Simply Cellular kits or other products, contact Bangs Laboratories, Inc. (www.bangslabs.com).

Bangs Laboratories' flow cytometry division was founded in 1984 under the name Flow Cytometry Standards Corporation. Bangs acquired FCSC and moved the company to its Fishers, Indiana facility in May, 2000. Over the past seventeen years, the company has created many unique standardization and calibration products, which are protected by over twenty US and foreign patents. Today, Bangs is recognized as the leader in quantitative flow cytometry, and its products are available worldwide through a number of local distributors. The company plays an active role in standardization and has coordinated numerous national and international surveys concerning comparison and standardization of flow cytometric data.

Bangs Laboratories produces fluorescence standards to help the research and clinical community conduct studies and evaluate data in an easier, more precise manner. Our products set the standard for quality control and quantitation in the fields of flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy, image analysis, and other fluorescence analytical applications.
